3. He has scandals....but I think they are more pedestrian.

Like the way he ripped off the taxpayers of PA for distance-learning for his kids, while he had them stashed in a house, in a toney school district, that he owned in VA....


The Issue:
Why is Rick Santorum spending your tax dollars on his family?

Rick took $100,000 from a struggling Pennsylvania public school district to pay for his children’s “cyber” education program
Unfortunately, Rick and his family live in suburban Virginia, not Pennsylvania, so they weren’t entitled to those funds
And when exposed in the press, Rick wouldn’t pay back the money, so the Penn Hills School District had to go to court to get it back…at more cost to local taxpayers
Pretty hypocritical, since Rick won his first congressional race by attacking the incumbent for living in Virginia instead of Pennsylvania
